Ingredients
- 9-inch homemade all-butter pie crust or store-bought pie crust
- 434 g canned red beans or cooked adzuki beans, see notes 1
- 180 g evaporated milk
- 100 g brown sugar see notes 1
- 57 g unsalted butter melted
- 50 g egg from 1 large egg
- 18 g egg yolk from 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger
- ⅛ tsp ground clove
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- If you use canned red beans, drain off liquid and rinse with water if they are salted.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) for conventional oven. For a convection oven, lower the temperature by 25 F (15 C). Position one oven rack in the middle and the other at the lower Place the unbaked pie crust on a baking sheet
- Place the beans, evaporated milk, melted butter, egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and the spices in a blender and blend until smooth
- Pour the filling into the pie crust. Smooth the top with a rubber spatula
Bake:
- Place the pie on the middle rack and bake for 55-60 minutes or until the filling is set. The edges should be slightly puffy and the center will be set. The top forms a thin layer of "crust"
Cool:
- Turn the oven off and crack the oven door open and let the pie cool down for about 15 minutes in the oven
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool down completely on a cooling rack. Chill the pie in the fridge to let it set further. Serve it cold the next day. I don't recommend serving on the same day you make it.
- You can serve as is or top with a bit of whipped cream if you like
Notes
If you use sweetened red bean paste (homemade or store-bought), you may want to cut down on the sugar, I would say probably use about 60-70 grams (about 1/3 cup) of brown sugar or adjust to your taste preference
